Laura: My new friend Kukicha

When I steeped my first bag of kukicha tea, I peered into the murky brown mug, took a whiff, and backed away, shaking my head.  No, this is NOT what I signed up for!  Then I took a sip.  Simply delightful!  Not bitter or overpowering at all!  I very much enjoyed every swig of the twig tea.  ;-) Read about it's health benefits here!

-steel cut oats with craisins, cinnamon, maple syrup, flax seed; kukicha tea
-multi grain chips with hummus; orange
-chili
-pretzels, tortilla chips, salsa, raw veggies, candy hearts, vegan red wine
